SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable
power supply cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power cord or extension
cord is used the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
If your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), this plug
will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to
modify the plug in any way.
Before using the Grill plate for the first time
Remove all labels and wash all parts with the exception of the detachable thermostat in hot soapy water, rinse thoroughly and dry.
INSTALLATION

- Ensure the grill plate is correctly placed on the base.
- Do not use the appliance if it is not installed following the sequence as shown at page 4.
- Install the appliance on a dry flat surface, and out of the reach of children, as some parts of the appliance reach very high temperatures during operation.
- Always place the glass lid in position during use unless the recipe advises differently.
- Before inserting the plug in the outlet, check that:
- the power of the outlet corresponds to the value indicated on the rating7 plate applied to the accessory plug.
- the outlet has a minimum rating of 15 A.
- plug this appliance into a 120V AC electrical wall outlet only. DO NOT plug into any outlet which is currently supplying power
to any other equipment.
- the outlet is suitable for the plug, otherwise replace the outlet.
- the manufacturer declines all liability if this instruction is not respected.
Use only the detachable temperature controlling plug “De’ Longhi TKSP-S004-2393GW-F” supplied with this
appliance.
Never use any other type of temperature controller.
IMPORTANT:
- The temperature control is a sensitive device; use care not to drop, hit or impact the temperature control
against hard surfaces, as it could affect the temperature reading.
Do not use the temperature control if it overheats or is damaged in any other way.
- Be sure temperature dial is in the OFF position before inserting into or removing from control socket.
Failure to do so could cause product failure or overheating.
- Be sure to insert the temperature control fully into the control socket in the base.
If the temperature control is not inserted properly, it can cause product damage.

shown in fig. 1.
2. Insert the temperature controlling plug into the control socket so that it is fully inserted.
Connect cord to outlet fig. 3.
3. Turn the thermostat to desired temperature (for cooking temperature see page 7 ).
Pilot light goes off when selected temperature is reached (this takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes) fig. 4.
4. Prepare food for cooking.
Because the grill plate features a nonstick finish, food may be prepared with little or no oil.

Heat should be adjusted according to personal preference and particular food being cooked.
During cooking, pilot light will go on and off indicating desired temperature is being maintained.
6. Turn the thermostat to “OFF” when cooking is completed.
Remove the cord from wall outlet and allow to cool before cleaning or removing any parts.
Note: Once appliance has cooled completly, grasp the head of the temperature controlling plug and firmly pull it
out of control socket. Do not pull temperature controlling plug by the cord to remove from socket.
Note: To avoid overheating or smoke, pour water into the removable drip tray until no longer than the maximum
level.
Restore the water level during cooking (fig.7).

any moisture to contact the control socket during cleaning.
1. Turn the temperature dial to the Off position. Unplug the grill pan from the outlet and allow to cool completely.
2. Grasp the temperature controlling plug and firmly pull it out of control socket. NEVER IMMERSE OR RINSE THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID! Clean the temperature controlling plug with a damp cloth and wipe dry
with a dry, soft cloth.
